Ride the historic rails

Georgetown Loop & Lebanon Silver Mine

Take a ride into history on the Georgetown Loop Railroad®.  Experience the life of a miner by touring the old Lebanon silver mine and outbuildings and explore the daily life of the miner during the heyday of the silver boom.

The tour takes you 500 feet into a mine tunnel bored in the 1870s. Your guide will point out rich veins of silver and tell you about early-day mining. The temperature inside the mine is a constant 44 degrees Fahrenheit, so bring a jacket.
